According to the post, the young lady was travelling to Salaga for her nursing college admission interview when she was reportedly murdered by armed robbers.
The post then eulogised Peggy Ayelbassah for her desire to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse, even though she never lived to achieve the dream
"This is Peggy Ayelbassah. She was murdered by armed robbers while travelling to Salaga for her nursing college admission interview. Life is fragile enough – a fleeting spark in the grand scheme of things. One day you're boarding a bus with dreams of wearing nursing whites, the next day you're just another name in the crime statistics. Peggy's story exposes our collective illusion of control. We make plans – admission forms, interview preparations, career roadmaps – while forgetting how easily a few bullets can reduce all ambitions to nothing. The universe doesn't care about your potential. Fate has no quota for tragic endings. And still, we persist. Perhaps courage isn't the absence of fear, but the determination to pursue nursing school admission slips even when armed robbers patrol the roads to Salaga."
The Member of Parliament for Afigya Kwabre North Constituency, Collins Adomako Mensah, also took to his X account on July 25, 2025, to express sorrow over the passing of Peggy Ayelbassah.
"Peggy Ayelbassah. The news of your death this morning just shattered me. Killed by armed robbers on your way to Salaga for your admission interview into nursing college. You sent me a WhatsApp message just yesterday about this trip. Your dedication to my political ambitions will be difficult to replace. I know we are not to question God, but 'God, why?' Sleep well. Sleep well."
